Description

When the children of New York's wealthiest elite begin disappearing one by one, Detective Michael Bennett discovers a chilling pattern: the kidnapper isn't after ransom or power, but answers—forcing the city's privileged to confront the human cost of their luxury before exacting a deadly price for their ignorance. As the murders escalate and the killer's message becomes increasingly public, Bennett must join forces with FBI agent Emily Parker to hunt down a murderer whose ultimate goal is a catastrophic demonstration that will shake the entire city. Packed with Patterson's signature heart-pounding suspense and relentless pacing, Worst Case is a high-octane thriller that explores themes of inequality, justice, and moral reckoning. From the shocking opening to the explosive finale, this gripping novel will keep you on the edge of your seat, unable to put it down.
